VMware Virtualization With OpenGL Still Smacks Oracle VirtualBox

Kicking things off with OpenArena 0.8.8 and running at resolutions
of 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, and 1440 x 900, VMware Fusion was clearly the winner
each time. While this is from the Retina MacBook Pro, resolutions up to 1440 x
900 were tested since VirtualBox had problems beyond this resolution. At each
resolution, VMware Fusion with its 3D support was about three times faster when
using the same host hardware/software.

World of Padman was also significantly faster with VMware Fusion
over VirtualBox. For those curious about the OpenGL performance results for the
Retina MacBook Pro test hardware when running bare metal, those will come in a
later article. (Until then you can see the
earlier results.)
